Krusten in a most annoyed manner (Using her choice intimidating words) shouts out at MariJaen, "You! Stop! Where are you taking her? She is to stay here and confess what she has been doing in secret!"
She then turns to the crowds.
"Do not let this Abigail fool you with her charms and wealth, she is cunning."
MariJaen puts her hands up in an act of defense. "I only wish to find out what is going on in a peaceful manner" MariJaen stands back and watches trying to help Tomas keep some space, becoming frustrated MariJaen in the most polite yell she can muster says to the crowd. "Please be seated on the ground, so that we may hear the testimony of both in an orderly manor. All your questions will be answered in time." MariJaen continues to repeat her loud request in hopes she will be heard so that they may gain some order to this growing madness.
As the crowd gathers, Ferrin scrambles away, out from under trampling feet. He weaves his way through the growing mass of commoners and tries to reach a vantage point close to the center so that he can see and hear more clearly above the din.
Mina politely refuses the drink. "Tool heads?", Mina asks to Murnos nod. "I remember seeing a few tools that the bandits were using, shovels and picks and the like. I don't recall seeing just tool heads. I don't know how many made it back to Goatshearers ranch, but I know a few of the tools were left behind so we could carry wounded."
Mina continues on to tell the man where those tools were left so he could send someone to find them for him. She finishes with, "My friends and I will be going to Goatsearers soon. We can see about the tools that did make it there for you."
AT THE RANCH
MaryJaen's efforts to calm the crowd are worthless: the workers don't listen to her words and keep pushing forward to reach Krusten and Abigail. The calm is obtained only when Goatshearer himself arrives on the spot, accompanied by two house servants. The merchant makes his way through the crowd and stops in front of the two girls. Somebody shouts that the butler is involved and Goatshearer silently sends one of his men to look for him. The envoy comes back after a few minutes and whispers something to his employ to which the merchant nods keeping a serious expression on his face. Goatshearer then looks intently at Abigail first and then at Krusten. "So, what is all this mess about?", he asks.
AT THE INN
Mr Murno thanks Mina for her help and gets back to his lunch. He says he will stay at the inn until tomorrow so the girl will find him easily should she need something or have more information to share.
Ceza Feuro notices that not only his bag has been moved but also his coin purse disappeared (Remove all your gold. Once more and you are out of the game.
Out of Character: Sorry being late.
Ferrin continues to watch from atop whatever perch he's found. He will stay within 25ft. Of the center of the commotion so that he can cast Charm Person if anyone becomes overly hostile. It would be a terrible thing for this to get out of hand.
Krusten, using her charisma and skills walking around like a judge, explains in an authoritative way that Abigail has been consorting to underhanded tactics to undermine the normal course of life of which she will now confess. Krusten, as usual, cares nothing about the chaos of the crowds, she seeks only to end Abigail's trends. Krusten knows she has no specifics or proof so she will look at Abigail waiting on her to confess. If she hesitates or tries to make up a tall tale she will lunge at her using intimidation.
